From what I have read, is it right those paying by direct debit and coming off the long term deal it will just auto renew at the new prices?

Ano there's been a bit of hype around this originals collection but there won't be queues outside club shop like a kit launch will they? Also anyone any idea if JD will be stocking it?

Newcastle United 0-2 Manchester United (26/02/2023)

Just woken up, got a be hangover from hell, an empty bank balance but although the result wasn't what we wanted, it was all worth it We have our club back, we don't demand a club that wins, just a team that tries and try we did - we got to a final and we will be back and we will win soon The atmosphere was electric and the scenes and singing at 90 mins 2-0 down just shows we have the best fans in the world. The game itself we struggled, started off bright, 2 quick goals killed us similar to Liverpool game last week and we couldn't get back into it. Had most of the ball and got into good positions on our wings but the final ball wasn't there. To next time but for now GET ME HOME -

People understimate the size of this rebuild job. We have the foundations in place, we have signed good players so far and will continue to do so, I'm confident we will get what we need in the next couple weeks. In the short medium term, Amanda and Jamie Reuben holding their current stakes doesn't make too much of a difference. Next season we will get increased sponsorship and therefore increased spending power. Beyond after next season though, if we do have aims of challenging at the Top within 5-10 years then surely AS and JR dilute their stakes, being bought a bit out by PIF which will then further accelerate the speed of spending and growth. We are in good hands, we have spent £150m net in two windows with more spending to come. We have progressed a lot in less than a year and will continue to do so. When they took over they said be patient this is an investment and it will take hard work and time. Some fans have too much expectation because of when the takeover happened, the media over hyped it and fans starting seeing Saudi money flashing in their eyes and thinking this would be the next Man City, when in reality it isn't, FFP prevents that. City have a 14 year head start on us, it will take time to bridge that gap, spending loads of money doesn't guarantee success, look at Everton. Keep getting small wins and progressing and we will get there in time. The gold old story of the tortoise beating the hare in a race!

It's vital Bruce goes before the Palace game. Owners have been here two weeks, yes we need to trust the process and be patient with certain things but replacing Bruce is urgent. From the Craig Hope article it seems Bruce has lost the dressing room, we all want him out and him being here is having a negative impact on the club. 7 wins in 38 games it's relegation form. He antagonizes the press and fans and is way out of his depth. Keeps saying he's a fan and wants what's best... No he wants his big pay out as he knows he will likely never get a job in the Premier League again ... He's a laughing stock See Eddie Howe is linked .. yes we would take anyone over Bruce right now but Howe's teams defences were poor too, lots of goals conceded... We need someone to get the defence back on track as we are letting goals In for fun, it's a championship back four. Look at the Dugout every game, it's Jones giving instructions and motivating while Bruce looks on hopelessly... We have a very tough Christmas period and if Bruce doesn't go soon we are going to be adrift at the bottom. Back to back games against Norwich and Burnley in early December and we need to win both of those. January is massive, we need significant investment and to get players through the door which will be easier if we are 13th-15th rather 18-20th This season we just need to stay up even if it's by just 1 point ... We can have hope for the future but the main thing now is take it game by game.
